Controversies Inside Rajasthan’s Educational Directives

Rajasthan's Education Minister, Madan Dilawar, faces scrutiny over an alleged directive to observe December 6 as 'Shaurya Diwas'. Though the government dismissed the claims as false, the incident has exacerbated tensions. Dilawar's controversial past and Hindutva advocacy continue to spark debate.

In Rajasthan, Education Minister Madan Dilawar finds himself embroiled in controversy once again, following the circulation of an alleged order to observe December 6 as 'Shaurya Diwas'. Despite the state government labeling it as false, the issue has triggered heavy criticism from Muslim groups and opposition parties.

Confusion reignited when messages within the official WhatsApp group initially announced the withdrawal of the directive due to exams before finally declaring no such order was ever issued. Chief Minister's Office rushed to clarify, releasing a statement that laid the matter to rest, albeit temporarily.

Renowned for his Hindutva stances, Dilawar's past involvement in the Ram Mandir movement is well-documented. His provocative decisions continue to stir public debate, raising questions about education's politicization under his tenure.
